Not happy about legal pot: What’s wrong with Illinois? Now they are going to pass recreational marijuana. Gee, thanks. I already have enough trouble breathing with my bronchial asthma. What about the other people with breathing problems? We’re going to have to smell this baloney outside. Are they going to restrict where it can be smoked? I seriously doubt it. They are just waiting for the almighty dollar. (Gov.) Pritzker is raising the gasoline prices and the license plate sticker prices. Voted for the wrong guy, didn’t ya?

In support of legalizing pot: I want to commend the state Legislature for being proactive in marijuana legalization. They could’ve ignored the issue. It would’ve ended up on the ballot next year and the voters would’ve approved it. The politicians in Springfield wanted to be ahead of the curve and that’s always a good thing. For the first time since the 1930s, pot will be legal in Illinois. This is a huge victory for personal freedom and limited government.

No RVs or boats in driveways: This is about all the commotion about letting people parking RVs and boats in driveways in Elgin in the summertime. If you can afford to buy those things, you can afford to park it in a place where you store those things. When you have an older neighborhood, you have driveways that go along the house. In our case, we live on the east side. We look out our dining room we see the neighbor’s driveway. I don’t mind that. But if I’m looking at an RV in my face, it would be horrible. I hope the city council doesn’t make a mistake and let this happen.

Democrats in disguise: I hope you realize all the people running against Trump who say they are Republicans are actually Democrats in disguise. Just like Paul Ryan and the rest of them were. We have Democrats in disguise as Republicans because they can’t win fairly.

Repeat offender crackdown: The intruder who assaulted a brother and sister in Sleepy Hollow was already on parole when he attacked them. Our justice system needs to be tougher on repeat offenders. If our laws need to be changed, then do it. By letting him out years from now, he’ll probably just repeat it. Enough of this.

Sad reason for legalized pot: All you people don’t realize everything that will happen by making marijuana legal for anyone older than 21. Do you know the accidents that are going to occur? You don’t want to know all the things that are gonna happen. People are going to get killed. All because Illinois needs money. Isn’t that really sad?

Partisan politics with military: (Acting White House Chief of Staff) Mick Mulvaney is just like his boss. He says Donald Trump’s request to hide the military ship (named for the late Sen. John McCain) wasn’t an unreasonable request. It is unreasonable to get the military involved in partisan politics. They should not be put in that position. I don’t know how he can come out an say it’s not unreasonable. It’s very unreasonable.
